Take it from me!
The best thing we did in Ireland! This tour is fantastic. You get to see some of the best natural scenery Ireland has to offer, and all within 8 hours. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and entertaining. I also really like a smaller group setting which allowed us to get to know the guide and fellow passengers better. Please don’t miss Glendalough upper lake!

Get up and out and see Ireland’s natural beauty !
This tour company specializes in bringing folks out to the Irish countryside and provides a refreshing alternative to the standard “on the bus, off the bus” options. If you are an active person or group – this is your option.
The rugged (and tamed portions of the) Irish countryside are worthwhile to see up front and personal. On our trip to Wicklow, participants chose to hike, horseback, or just see exquisite award-winning gardens.
Our horseback riding was “on target” – trail riding into the national park forest where we even were able to get up close to wild deer. The stable chose the right horses for the different levels of skill and allowed those of us who wanted and were able to actually seriously ride. Afternoon included spectacular scenery and a nice 45 min nature walk that included ancient ruins of an old Monastery town.
The guide was well informed, entertaining, and provided great insights into the Irish culture, history and mindset.
